Study aim
-
The aim of this study is to investigate the sedation of fentanyl-midazolam combination with fentanyl-propofol combination after peribulbar block on surgeon and patient satisfaction during cataract surgery.
-
Design
-
A randomized clinical trial, with two control groups, with parallel groups, one blind, randomized, phase 3, and on 1116 patients. Random Allocation software was used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
The study is carried out in Amiral Mominin Hospital and Farabi Surgery Clinic (the only private eye surgery referral center in the province) in Rasht. The study is single blind.Injections are performed in the operating room and no patients have no knowledge of the type of intervention, but doctors know the type of anesthetic.

-
Group 1 receives sedation with fentanyl 0.5g/kg and repeated for 5-10 minutes. After that, they receive midazolam 0.01 mg/kg.
In group two, they receive sedation with fentanyl 0.5g/kg and repeat for 5-10 minutes.
Also, both groups also receive hyalase.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Degree of sedation, pain intensity, heart rate, SpO2 percentage of arterial oxygen saturation. Intraoperative pain, heart rate, blood pressure, and arterial oxygen saturation are monitored regularly at 5-minute intervals.
